HC Deb 25 May 1989 vol 153 c629W
Mr. Hind

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has any plans to change the 1989–90 cash limit and running costs limit for the Government Actuary's Department.

Mr. Lilley

Subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary Supplementary Estimate the cash limit for class XIX, vote 4 will be increased by £25,000 from £548,000 to £573,000, and the running costs limit by £178,000 from £2,510,000 to £2,688,000, to provide for recently implemented pay increases for actuarial staff, and the completion of the conversion of a major pension programme to in-house microcomputers. The increase in the cash limit will be charged to the Reserve and will not therefore add to the planned total of public expenditure.
